Sane, Simple, Sacred: A "Christmas Carol" Moment
http://lifeandgodliness-rebecca.blogspot.com/2011/11/may-your-days-be-merry-and-bright.html
Sane, Simple, Sacred. Life and Godliness - 2 Peter 1:3. A "Christmas Carol" Moment. It's not easy, is it?

When the truth finally dawns on us- when we quit taking our cues from the "world" around us and decide what we really want this holiday to be about. Praying that NOTHING will be artificial about Christmas in your heart and home this year.
